Edgar Bergen did ventriloquism over the radio, so why can’t Marconi do magic? Marconi pays homage to the great old radio days with a magic show for the radio that’s as clever as it is absurd. Magic tricks for the radio is such a great concept, and it’s pure pleasure to hear Marconi perform. In so doing, he draws your attention to the inherent magicalness of the medium itself and allows you to marvel at it whether you’re a kid or not. There’s one trick he does that involves cutting himself in half that’s a total gem. Why not do some child-oriented programming for Halloween and make Marconi a highlight?
